Uh, I give up, how many? I'm guessing 3 amps or less. Does your PS
have an meter on it? Can your DMM measure current?
I'd like to know too, but I don't have any concerns since I'll be
running my K3/10 from my Astron 20 amp supply.

Here is what the specs quote:
Supply Voltage/current: 13.8 V nominal (11 V min, 15 V max). 17-22
Amps typical in TX (100W). 0.9A minimum RX.
Now at 5 watts...I dunno. One of the ways you can find out is...of
course...put an amp meter in line with the rig. If you don't have one,
Harbor Freight stores have a good little DMM for $4. On sale they are
$2. Yes, they work.

I have the K3 with the KPA3, but I run it almost all the time at 5
watts output (5.0 setting).
What is the max amps that this configuration might draw, assuming a
good SWR and a normal voltage (indoor)

Hi Bob:
I'm curious about one thing.
In the K2 we can cut back on receive current by
menu selections for things like FD on battery power.
Is there any plan for such a capability in the K3?

I kinda doubt it.
If I recall, we discussed this (among FTs) early on and it was decided
